Flyrob Thanks for the update and encouragement. I am hoping to wrap up the home projects in a week or so and get some well deserved fishing in. I'm really hoping that Dorian stays off shore and spares us the 30" of rain that the Bahamas got otherwise we... Show more 9 months ago

Flyrob Thought about fishing the Port Deposit Striped Bass Tournament Saturday but when I saw 4 spill gates open Friday night I decided against it. They had 3 gates open on Saturday. Like Mudpup I did some work around the house too. less than a minute ago

More good news...Susky at HBG is running crystal clear and is back down to 6.5 ft.

mudpuppy EEER. I'm on the verge of using the "bad words" that my mother told me never to use...LOL. Just drove over the Susky up here and it is running higher than normal but no mud. At least there's no spill gates open...YET. If I had a boat with an... Show more 1 year ago

Flyrob Thanks for the info Mike. Seem odd that they are running spillers with levels only slightly elevated. The good news is the discharge water doesn't look really dirty so once they're out of spill the river should clean up fast. Hopefully our injuries... Show more 1 year ago

mudpuppy Thanks Rob, best news this week. I have not heard of much happening on the flats just yet. With water temps gradually rising (and hopefully clearing) it shouldn't be too long until things break loose. 1 year ago

Rest in peace Joe Yack....

liquidaddicted Man I’m sorry to hear that. Used to run into Joe walleye fishing down at the dam and talked to him some at the winter shows. Nice guy and a wealth of knowledge about fishing the upper bay. RIP 1 year ago

Flyrob Just seeing this... and super bummed... I can't tell you how much I learned from Joe over the years about Walleye fishing and fishing the Susquehanna River in general and volumes of witty fishing adages. One of my favorites "Hard to know the mind... Show more 1 year ago

mudpuppy Only met and fished with Joe a few times in the last couple of years. Joe was a wealth of knowledge for sure and was always a lot of fun to fish with whether we were catching or not. I will miss him. 1 year ago

Wild Bill Terrible late flats season Rob. Makes you wonder if the fish will show at all in good numbers. I would have a little more confidence near the Sass. Been wanting to try it but the mud keeps coming. 2 years ago

Flyrob I have my doubts that we will get a fall run at all?? Another day of rain is certainly not helping! 2 years ago

Capt. Chris Tried the Sass yesterday. Water a little better than the flats, but not a lot of bites. Just a few shorts. Omar was there too, and did about the same. Still hoping we will get a fall bite! 2 years ago

mudpuppy Thanks ward. Was down last week and had about 6" visibility. Was hoping it cleared up some by now. No buoy data and the satellite imagery has not been very clear. Might try farther south. 2 years ago
